    Looking to re-invest in some pads

    My current pads include the entire line-up of: LC CCS, GG BOSS & Rupes for 15" Bigfoot

    Looking to reinvest in some new pads and was looking for something good for both the BOSS G-15 & Rupes Bigfoot 15"

    Products typically used:
    Boss Cremes
    Megs 105/205
    Pinnacle Compound & Polish/Menz Compound & Polish
    HD Speed (but I use the CCS's for that).

    I know a lot of new pads have come out in the past year and haven't stayed on top of it.

    I think boss are best with GG creams. Besides those I like the LC line as well. Normally the flat line.

    No doubt the GG Boss pads are amazing! They're my go too... With that said, I find they don't work quite well (as they shouldn't) on the Rupes LRH MK II 15. Thus, I have the entire lineup of the Rupes pads for the MKII. However, these are not my go-to pads. I find they're HUGE, and very thick. And as a consumer, I'd like to get away from proprietary accessories and pads for the two polishers. (I understand both BOSS & Rupes are designed as complete systems).


    So all of these claim to be engineered for both Rupes & BOSS. Any thoughts?
    LC SDO and HDO pads... What's the difference?
    Buff N Shine makes a LowPro Large Throw

    Differences between LC/HDO/SDO and B&S LowPro's?
    Pro's / con's preferences?

    Bueller?

    So I like the boss because of how things they are, I like the LC flats because they are tanks and take any abuse.

    All the others u named I have but never did as well as boss and LC flats

    Re: Looking to re-invest in some pads

    You know... I think I've made a decision. I'm going to stick with proprietary pads for proprietary systems Wondering how the Rupes Mille` pads will work on an MKII

    Ok, pulled the trigger
    6x BOSS white
    6x BOSS Orange
    6x BOSS MF
    ----------
    6x B&S LowPro Green
    6x B&S LowPro Orange

    Now I can thin the heard of BOSS pads that are starting to get long in the tooth. I heard the BOSS MF Pads are a "Gen 2?" and supposedly better than the ones I have. I see a little separation happening between the foam and the MF, which means trash time! Don't want to suffer catastrophic failure.

    I'll wait until later this year when the Rupes Mille comes out and try some of their Mille pads... hopefully those will work on the MKII.

    I see you already pulled the trigger and I know alot of people love them but I REALLY disliked the B&S orange & green low-pro foam. They're WAY too firm.

    If you prefer to cut with foam, I think you'll really like the orange & green foam pads because they are extremely aggressive. But I personally prefer the ease of use of microfiber for cutting and using a slightly softer foam for polishing. I love the Yellow uro-tec polishing pad (it is slightly thinner than rupes yellow) & I REALLY like the new orange SDO & the orange HDO pads for polishing.

    My all time favorite pad is the Rupes yellow. It holds up to a lot of punishment. I use it on almost every detail I do.

    LC HDO would be my choice of I were to go towards a "universal" pad system for all my tools.

    Not to go off topic in Paul's thread, but how do the BOSS pads play with the GG6?
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    Interesting. Can you elaborate?

    I love my LC flats, but always looking to explore as I gain more polishing time and notice their (few) shortcomings.
